Experts believe that positive experience of developing the construction sector of the nuclear industry will be used for the drafting and approval of the Strategy for Innovation Development of the Construction Industry by 2030. A special attention in the Strategy shall be devoted to forming the state system of support to the transfer of international advanced technologies and ensuring the implementation of information modelling technologies in construction.
